"I. Remember. You."
The words are clearer than they have any right to be, gazing at a spot in middle distance between them.Her eyes flick up to meet his, her gaze too tired and her expression dangerously close to looking like surrender.

And another deep breath and she seems to straighten up, steeling herself for the next question.
